What are you into besides gym climbing? Bouldering? Top roping? Trad, Sport?

Fern, are you talking about the start of the 5.10a pitch? This would be the thin corner crack? I'm surprised. I didn't lead this part, but it seemed straightforward to me, the key was being able to stem as much as possible.

If you did get in a wreck it would be a slow speed collision.

Great idea, in principle.

If you were raising your dog as meat, Dog would be a fine name. Maybe she just isn't very sentimental about her dog.

I saw Jeff the cat in the park today, or a darn good facsimile of him. He let me pet him, but I could tell there was malice in his eyes and decided I better be on my way before he took a chunk out of my hand.

We need a new avatar called The Brainstem to signify when a thread has run out of ideas and has descended to a state of free association, completely unencumbered by the thought-process.

Brevity is the soul of wit. Six words.

If a cop with a hand held Taser tells me to leave, I'm at least going to step back out of arms reach. After that, I'm counting on moving faster if he comes at me with the thing.

They would have had to hog tie him, but yes, that is what they should have done, given that he seemed to enjoy the Tasing so much.

Circle of Mockery. Damn that's pretty good! I had to Google it to convince myself it was an original idea.

There is a group going tomorrow. Anyone is welcome to join us. Probably we'll do mostly easy to moderate routes at Sunshine Wall. PM me if interested.

We are doomed unless someone can come up with hamburgers and french fries that are low calorie and yet taste like they are loaded with grease.

Liberalism? He was as conservative as they come.

I guess everyone is missing the point. The point is that the premise of the original post was that Americans should be more like the Europeans who eat healthy diets and either walk or bike to work. Now we read that the Europeans over the past ten years have adopted our unhealthy ways. They are abandoning the healthy meals in favor of the imported fast food joints. It's just really sad and I hope that this trend can be reversed.

I was impressed by the man when I saw his PBS special years ago. I didn't agree with all his ideas but many of the I did agree with, like the idea of the "negative income tax". I'm sure JayB is taking this hard. Obituary- International Herald

Remember we're not talking about routes that seem hard for the rating. We're talking about routes that are hard to onsight, routes that have tricky or quirky moves that, once figured out, make the route seem much easier.

WORK!!!!

Let's see, given a choice between a night stick to the head or groin and a Taser, I'd take the Taser. Given a choice between having someone kneel on me so I can't breathe, I'd take the Taser. Given the choice between a bullet to the heart or a Taser, I'd take the Taser every time.

Yeah, yeah, and opinions are like a**holes...

Of what material is it constructed? Looks like concrete, but that would be exceedingly heavy. Although they might have used a lightweight aggregate.

Based on sheer drivel, it's got to be a toss up between Dechristo and Olyclimber (and his avatars).

The guy seemed to be enjoying the attention he was getting. Every time he had a chance to cooperate and deescalate the situation, he did the opposite. He totally had it coming.

I applied for jobs and sprayed on cc.com all day.
